Timoni currently does not have a CI/CD setup. Below are recommended next steps for integrating Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment into the project.

Next Steps for CI/CD Setup

  1. Continuous Integration:

    • Implement tests in your Makefile. Utilize the test target within your Makefile to ensure that all unit tests pass before moving forward with deployment.
    test:
        go test -v ./...
    
    • Set up a CI service (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) to run these tests automatically on new commits or pull requests.

    Example GitHub Actions configuration (.github/workflows/ci.yml):

    name: CI
    
    on: [push, pull_request]
    
    jobs:
      build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
        steps:
        - name: Checkout code
          uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
        - name: Set up Go
          uses: actions/setup-go@v2
          with:
            go-version: '1.17'
        
        - name: Run tests
          run: make test
    
  2. Continuous Deployment:

    • Create a deployment script to publish the Timoni bundles as OCI artifacts whenever there is a change to the main branch. Use the timoni artifact push command as defined in the Timoni documentation.
    # deploy.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    
    set -e
    
    # Build the module
    make build
    
    # Publish the artifact
    timoni artifact push -f ./path/to/your/bundle --tag latest --sign
    
    • Extend your CI configuration to trigger the deployment script on successful tests: Example addition to the GitHub Actions configuration:
    jobs:
      deploy:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        needs: build
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    
        steps:
        - name: Checkout code
          uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
        - name: Deploy Timoni bundle
          run: ./deploy.sh
    
  3. Environment Management:

    • Define application delivery across multiple clusters using the Timoni Runtime. To effectively manage deployment across environments, create a bundle-runtime.yaml configuration file that specifies your cluster groups.

    Example bundle-runtime.yaml:

    runtime:
      clusters:
        - name: cluster1
          context: context1
        - name: cluster2
          context: context2
    
    • Ensure that your Makefile includes a command to apply the bundle with the defined Runtime:
    apply:
        timoni apply -f ./path/to/your/bundle-runtime.yaml
    
  4. Monitoring and Rollback:

    • Integrate health checks and end-to-end tests within your deployment flow. You can leverage the capabilities of Timoni as it connects to each cluster post-deployment and performs health checks.
    • Configure an automated rollback mechanism in case of deployment failures, integrating it into your CI/CD tool of choice.

With these steps in mind, the CI/CD framework can be structured robustly to handle the deployment requirements of the Timoni project.
